Alright, let me just say that yesterday was fantastic! The Seattle Out of the Darkness Walk was pretty incredible. the count was 660 people who registered & checked in, plus at least 200 more. Let me just say that it is truly incredible to see a decent sized group show up to support such a great & much needed cause! The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention has just recently opened a new Chapter here in Washington, which is totally awesome.I was honored to be a part of the event.
I was talking to Marianne, my boss' wife, today & explaining to her that there is only one volunteer in the entire state of Washington to advocate for this cause. Marianne thinks I should devote some of my time lobbying for this great cause. She believes that I could truly do some good by volunteering to lobby with the politicians and such. I really think I could do some good also. I am pretty determined when I am passionate about something.
Same topic, but a different side... I am starting now to raise money & get a team together for the next one! Any & all ideas are welcome. I've already got a few. Knitting headbands to sell/ putting a collection cup out @ work... The sky's the limit.
